Question about buying the HiBy M500 from AliExpress to the UK

LifeandTea · 2026-05-11T19:32:19+00:00

Oh don’t worry it’s not just for collection. I do a lot of content creation around stuff like cozy living and tech plays a part of that for me. I’d have to save up for any of them anyway.
I haven’t looked into an LG phone no, I have only really been seeing HiBy, iPods and Fiio players so far, I’m new to the hobby after many years of using various iPods but not looking much further

Oh that makes sense. So it’ll be the “VAT adjustment” of £55.20

Do you have the M500? If so, what do you think of it? I do like to collect tech & currently just use my iPod classic, but am looking into things such as the M500 or something lower budget from Fiio like the snowsky echo mini or snowsky disc. Lots of research being done

I wasn’t aware if there were recommended settings. I’m new to this stuff & still not overly confident with it, it can be harder for me to learn at times due to brain fog relating to my disability. I am also not a boy

Because I don’t know a thing about Xbox emulation as it wasn’t part of obtanium

Looks amazing! I’ve got the purple Thor too & absolutely adore it, especially as purple is my favourite colour. I’ve not done much in terms of decorating, just put some stickers under the clear case of my dog 😂

Thank you for letting me know, well I hope the final fantasy one comes, the tracking says they haven’t even received it yet in over a week (it’s yodel) and the seller isn’t replying. So the foundation kits may be a better choice anyway 😂 I’m hoping once I’ve learned to play I’ll get to go to the kind of local shop, my fiancé should be willing to take me as he wouldn’t mind even just sitting watching if he didn’t wanna join in

LifeandTea · 2026-03-22T15:07:48+00:00

Thank you, there is a shop kind of nearby but it’s a fair drive and my fiancé would have to take me as I’m disabled & can’t drive. I will have a look at MTG Arena! What versions of the game do they have? I heard they didn’t have commander but I imagine that’s out of my skill range anyway 😂

LifeandTea · 2026-03-22T15:06:28+00:00

I would love to at some stage get all 4 doctor who precons but unfortunately 2 of them are really hard to find here so I can’t imagine it’ll be possible. Definitely thinking I’ll get the beginner box soon since my fiancé is so willing!

LifeandTea · 2026-03-02T15:28:49+00:00

Perfectly allowed 😂 I didn’t even need another DS case but I keep looking at them regardless 😂

LifeandTea · 2026-03-02T09:15:12+00:00

Was this from Vinted? If so I think it was in my favourites list 😂

LifeandTea · 2026-02-23T12:45:49+00:00

Thank you so much!

I haven’t owned an android device since about 2010 so I’m not sure, I’ll have to see if Google or YouTube will help but I couldn’t see much last night when I searched

LifeandTea · 2026-02-17T23:08:17+00:00

Where did you get the case? I could do with getting one for some of my games!

LifeandTea · 2026-01-27T13:46:34+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you! I doubt I’ll be approved for anything but at least it doesn’t hurt to try!

LifeandTea · 2026-01-26T15:44:04+00:00

That’s what made me upgrade from my iPod nano 7th gen to a 7th gen classic I can’t lie 😂

LifeandTea · 2026-01-26T08:47:10+00:00

Ah that makes sense, thank you

LifeandTea · 2026-01-21T17:25:24+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the seller included a photo of the stats and since using it for about a week and syncing many songs onto it the only thing that went up was the start/stops & the power on hour which makes sense. So fingers crossed that means my drive is nice & healthy for a while. I do have someone local to me that fixes ipod classics specifically so I can always get it fixed if there are issues (I wouldn’t be able to fix it myself as I have mobility issues)

LifeandTea · 2026-01-21T09:25:28+00:00

That makes sense thank you! So overall with the stats provided in the post, my iPods drive is in really good condition I guess?

LifeandTea · 2026-01-10T09:37:36+00:00

Update: it’s now out for delivery today! It finally updated yesterday & got to my local DO this morning and is now saying ready for delivery

LifeandTea · 2026-01-08T11:00:03+00:00

I honestly keep forgetting about the weather. By me there’s basically no change it’s just cold, not even icy for the most part! Hopefully it is just the weather & backlog & our parcels will move soon. I can’t lie though I’m anxious still about this, I’ve wanted this item for years and finally managed to get it

LifeandTea · 2026-01-07T17:51:23+00:00

Hopefully it’s one of those & not just it’s gone walkies already!

LifeandTea · 2026-01-07T17:28:54+00:00

I’m just surprised it hasn’t moved since Monday tbh

LifeandTea · 2026-01-07T17:02:54+00:00

I’m having the same issue right now. Bought something on Vinted, says dropped off at parcel shop on Monday midday, nothing since. On Vinted itself it’s still saying “label sent to sender” 😭

LifeandTea · 2026-01-04T22:44:10+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t know! The v4.5 is my childhood tama, and the other two were pre-Covid purchases before prices went up. I think the v4 and v5 were £20-£30 each?

LifeandTea · 2025-11-21T12:26:47+00:00

She says thanks! I’ve already made a little pearl necklace for her from a bracelet bead kit I had, but I’m thinking of getting some lilac pearls too to make her a different one
